Funny you should ask this There was a slide in the virtual event yesterday
that addressed this. It really was a great forum. Here are the bullet
points
*New UPD Driver based on XMP Paper Specification (XPS)
*Functionally the same as existing EMF UPD
*Requires client to support .Net 3.0 (XP, Vista, W2K3, W2K8)
*Non-Windows Clients still use PCL- or Postscript- based UPD
*Use of XPS is Automated
*EMF is preferred UPD method (XPS is NOT default)
*If EMF not supported and user device has .NET 3.0 installed, XPS will be
used
*If neither occurs fallback occurs to PCL5c then PCL4 then Postscript
So basically the answer is not necessarily. However this chart does NOT
include Microsofts enhancements to printing in the 2008/Vista engine which
are greatly improved.
